Stephen King
Be kind, Helen, I am so tired of thinking; There are so many difficult corridors of thought, With equal iron banisters leading back again: So many stone stairs, Helen, up which I sought To rediscover the windy sky, and stand, blinking, In the lost sunlight: as bright as pain, Helen. I would give almost anything now Even for pain. View quote

Kate Bush
Hark! My ears are catching corncrake's clicking, Silver moonlight shines on cobhead corn; Summer evening's blessing me, enriching, Valley's wreaths of smoky slash and burn. Neither joying I, nor grieve I, mournful; But for forest's darkness am I yearnful, Rose-gilt clouds the day's protracted ending, Windy sleeping hill o'er all extending, Fragrant twinflower, shortening, lingering shade; These the things from which my heart-song's made. Lady June-July, for you I'm singing, Great the silence of my ardent heart, Merry music make, for faith is mounting, Verdant wreath of oak eternal start. Foolish errands now I'll make no longer, Fortune blessèd hands will grasp the stronger; Rippled pool of circles now decreasing; Time has ceased and weathervane is sleeping; Stretches road at twilit end of day, Bound for home unknown, I take its way.

It's such an advantage to be able to hit short irons low on command. When it's windy, you'll hit more greens. But low shots are a great strategy in calm conditions, too: The less time the ball hangs in the air, the less time it has to stray off line from the flagstick. View quote

Chicago is known as the Windy City, and Montana is called the Big Sky State, so I think that we should somehow combine the two to create the ultimate kite-flying experience. View quote

The tadpole poet will never grow into anything bigger than a frog; not though in that stage of development he should puff and blow himself till he bursts with windy adulation at the heels of the laureled ox. View quote
Algernon Charles Swinburne
And as you walk yr road, as you live yr life, RELISH THE ROAD. And relish the fact that the road of yr life will probably be a windy road. View quote

San Francisco, I believe, has the most disagreeable climate and locality of any city on the globe. If the winter be not unusually wet, there is some delightful weather to be enjoyed. If it be, you are flooded, and the rainy season closes to give place to what is miscalled summer - a season so cold that you require more clothing than you did in January; so damp with fogs and mists that you are penetrated to the very marrow; so windy that if you are abroad in the afternoon it is a continual struggle. Your eyes are blinded, your teeth set on edge, and your whole person made so uncomfortable by the sand that has insinuated itself through your clothing, that you could not conceive it possible to feel a sensation of comfort short of a warm bath and shower.... What sort of end the unfortunates, who spend their lives there, can expect under such circumstances, one does not easily foresee. View quote
Eliza Farnham
It is a sensation not experienced by many mortals, said he, to be looking into a churchyard on a wild windy night, and to feel that I no more hold a place among the living than these dead do, and even to know that I lie buried somewhere else, as they lie buried here. Nothing uses me to it. A spirit that was once a man could hardly feel stranger or lonelier, going unrecognized among mankind, than I feel. (Charles Dickens)
A coldness had come over Blaine in the hot, windy, smoky air. It was a chill that never quite left you after it had gotten inside you, he would find out later, but sometimes welled up again from nowhere, leaving you not afraid exactly, but believing that nothing could ever work out for the better in this world.
